"What's Happening" was a happening show with popping and locking and all kinds of other hip stuff.
The star was Ernest Thomas who played the skinny, glasses-clad Roger 'Raj' Thomas. His best friend was Freddie 'Rerun' Stubbs (Fred Berry). They called him Rerun, if I'm not mistaken, because he was held back in school a time or two. If Rerun could do anything, he could dance. Raj's other friend was Dwayne Nelson (Haywood Nelson). It seemed like Raj and his boys were always trying to keep from being caught by Raj's mother (played by Mabel King) for doing something or other. Mama had her sentinel they had to watch out for too: Raj's sister, Dee (Danielle Spencer).
It was fun times. Whenever they weren't at Raj's house they could most likely be found at the diner where Shirley (played by Shirley Hemphill) worked. She would trade barbs with Rerun and they usually had to do with weight.
